You always hand an eye on the costs, deadlines and requirements for quality and safety. In regular dialogue with external parties such as planning offices, construction companies and authorities, you coordinate the efficient execution of construction projects. An important part of your exciting job is communicating with residents and other stakeholders. This is how you promote cooperation and drive innovation.
